Thousand Oaks Dog Bite Attorney

Seeking Damages after a Dog Attack

Dog attacks can be both physically dangerous and emotionally traumatic
for the victim. Because dogs are a normal part of everyday life, it is
easy to forget that they are predatory animals, capable of terrific violence
when overcome by instinct. Anyone who owns a dog has strict liability
for the actions of that dog, meaning that when dog bites occur, it is
often possible to go to court for damages. Legal action is often necessary
in order to cover the costly bills for medical treatment for wounds or
even reconstructive surgery.

While most dog owners raise even-tempered animals that get along well with
humans, some do not take the time and care to properly train and exercise
the dog, leading to nervousness and aggression which can sometimes flare
up against an innocent person. Other dog owners will even purposefully
develop hostile behavior in order to groom the animal into being a guard dog.

Provided that you were not trespassing on the owner's property and that
you did not provoke the attack by harassing or threatening the dog, you
may be able to sue for compensation. A Thousand Oaks personal injury attorney
can meet with you to discuss the case and help you decide whether to pursue
legal action.
